Unified Model-Based Management

Simplify Data Center Management and Increase Reliability

Unified Model-Based Management maintains models of desired server configurations, including network and storage connectivity requirements. It provisions servers by associating these models with system resources, for consistent, error-free alignment of policy, personality, and workload.

Using Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) Manager, administrators can create a service profile through an intuitive GUI. They configure the actual server and its I/O connectivity by associating this service profile with physical resources.

This approach:

Reliably automates infrastructure provisioning

Makes it impossible to create non-compliant configurations

Eliminates the need for individual element managers to manually configure each system resource
